The civil court has delayed a hearing on visitation rights for jailed former President Mohamed Nasheed to 1:30pm on Thursday.
The Maldives Correctional Services (MCS) was unable to present the opposition leader for the 12:40pm hearing. A spokesman said the MCS received the court order this morning.
Nasheed is being held at the Maafushi Island jail, an hour away from the capital Malé.
Ahmed Nazim Sattar, the former president’s brother, is suing the MCS over what he claims is a sudden decision to limit Nasheed’s weekly family visits to his parents, wife and children.
